One organizational<br>point in the meanwhile: You raise the idea of a board/summit OC meeting in<br>Geneva on Monday 25 Feb. before the IGF. I was toying with the idea of<br>doing a different sort of IG-related workshop at the Graduate Institute on<br>that day, but could put that idea aside for now if there is sufficient<br>critical mass to do a board/OC meeting instead. Barring an unusual<br>circumstance in which all the conference rooms are busy that day, I should<br>be able to host such a meeting with the requisite libations etc. But before<br>I look into the logistics and budget it would be helpful to know whether<br>enough of us would be interested and able to attend. If people could let me<br>know whether they'd be available that'd be helpful.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Bill<br><br>On 1/14/08 3:19 AM, "Wolf Ludwig" <<a href="mailto:wolf.ludwig@comunica-ch.net">wolf.ludwig@comunica-ch.net</a>> wrote:<br><br>> Dear all,<br><br>first of all, I wish you all the best for the New Year!

After a phone call I<br>> had with S?bastien, we both believe there is a unique chance for EURALO ahead<br>> that we cannot miss. Thanks to S?bastien and some RALO-friends from North<br>> America, there was this great idea and project of a User?s Summit to be<br>> organised and held along the ICANN meeting this summer in Paris ? as one of<br>> the outcomes of the LA meeting in autumn 07.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>This project offers a real and<br>> unique chance for us to re-animate and revitalize our cause, commitments and<br>> legitimacy.
